Deleting an Oracle Wallet

  1. Start Oracle Wallet Manager.

    • (UNIX) At the command line, enter the following command:

      owm

    • (Windows) Select Start, Programs, Oracle-HOME_NAME, Integrated Management Tools, Wallet Manager

  2. If the wallet is closed, then open it by selecting Open from the Wallet menu. When prompted, select the wallet directory location, and then enter your wallet password.

  3. From the Wallet menu, select Delete.

    The Delete Wallet dialog box appears.

  4. Do the following:

    • Wallet Location: Review the displayed wallet location to verify that you are deleting the correct wallet.

    • Wallet Password: Enter the wallet password.

  5. Click OK.

  6. In the Confirmation dialog box, click OK.

Note:

  • Any open wallet in application memory will remain in memory until the application exits. Therefore, deleting a wallet that is currently in use does not immediately affect system operation.

  • Do not use Oracle Wallet Manager to delete Transparent Data Encryption keystores. See Oracle Database Advanced Security Guide for information about deleting keystores.
